Ponente

"Ponente" (Ref. 005) is a work dominated by the dynamism and strength of natural elements. In this 40x60 cm painting, Ruggero Ruggieri moves away from human figurative narration to focus exclusively on the movement of waves during a day of strong west wind (Ponente). The canvas literally vibrates thanks to an extreme textural application: the palette knife strokes, decisive and loaded with oil, sculpt the water and foam, restoring the tactile sensation of a restless sea. The artist transforms the wind's force into pictorial energy, creating a play of relief that captures light in ever-changing ways. Part of a series commissioned for a private residence in Alassio, the work represents the wildest and most vital soul of the Ligurian coast, perfect for those seeking art with a strong sensory impact capable of bringing the breath of the open sea into their space.
